[Elecraft] om2500a

[Ralf Wilhelm]

There seem to be more than version of the manual around. "Mine" is from "radiomanuals.com" (I think so) and just checked; it doesn't not have the word "only" in the ALC description on page 8. 

So, the basic line is NO ALC for ssb,cw...

Actually I hope Chris will show up again because I got an off-the-list respond yesterday from him, and he described another task much more interesting:  he wants to use the automatic features of the amplifier. He uses the rs232 port of amp and K3, but this solution blocks the K3's rs232 and keeps him from using a computer control for the K3 when the amplifer is off. I think, a solution would be a small box that reads the band settings from the K3's ACC jack, converts it into "comport format"  and sends it to the amplifer. Maybe there is a PIC solution for this...
